Hi Martin, I think that most of the developers would agree with you, but bear in mind that a large number of potential users come from the WYSIWYG icon clicking world. These are often the same people that get discouraged by the need of having to install optional packages, so I wonder if there is a way of including something as standard but providing a way of deselecting it for advanced users? Something like the standard version with bells and whistles for the newbie and a customised version for the wiz.
I have the feeling that TinyMCE could make the notebook more attractive to users that are not familiar with writing code. They could ease into coding slowly. Since the generated html code still appears in the notebook, this would be a nice way of learning html, too. Eventually, the user is likely to need it less and less and do his own html coding, at which point he could deselect the package again.
